MAC Give me Liberty of London Discussion

i really like the names for the products in this collection - i mean birds and berries?! how cute is that!?

 

[kiss]

I agree. That's one reason why I want that eye-shadow and the fact that I can't get enough of teals. I love birds and berries, makes me think of the forest by the beach.

 

[Hypathya]

Totally agree with you both!! Birds and berries is the cutest name ever!!

Oh!! Forrest by the beach that sounds just great!!

Wouldn't that be an awesome name too??

I've seen the product book at the store; they let me see to get me in a lather, lol. The packaging is really beautiful! So, beauty powders and a bag for sure, and I hope I like a lippie or three just to be able to flash that lovely case.

And green eyeshadow- Yay!

 

[eidetica]

I'm a sucker for lovely packaging; this gruppo has amazing packaging! Wish they'd done this with Lilly Pulitzer and her real stuff from The Day.

Beauty powders are calling me....

I have to get Peachstock for sure! It's one of my fave l/s.

Ok, I've had decided to redo my list since Spring Colour Forecast is so overwhelming. So, here's my new list:

Shell Pearl BP
Birds & Berries e/s
Bough Grey e/s
Peachstock l/s
Perennial High Style l/g
Prim & Proper blush

all mattes have the same texture (to me anyways). i don't have any of the problems that some people seem to have working with mattes.

^^Probably helps if you're using the right primer and base, too.

so true!

I don't have a problem with mattes, either. I just use Too Faced or Urban Decay as a primer and slap on a matte shadow and it's all good for me.

I'm so ready for this collection. Feels like I've been waiting forever.

I am so anxious for this collection to come out!

i tend to be ok with matte shadows - i like to use udpp and then a matte paint pot rather than a shimmery one. the only one i have an issue with is newly minted - and i know i'm not alone with that!

 

[Susanne]

I think it is the mixture of matte and shimmery e/s that makes a great look!

I`ve been reading some MAC ma opinions (don``t remember the name) and he said to use a shimmery base like bare study under matte eyeshadows for better results, it works, I like it

I've done that, and my matte e/s never blend well over the shimmery bases. Plus, a shimmery base interferes with the matte look, if that's what you're truly going for.
